[Intro]
Am Em Am Em C G/B D x2


[Verse 1]
   AmIt cannot be seen
            AmBut there's blood on the green
     AmOnly god knows I'm innocent
C        G       AmTake me, take me home
  AmA dark seed reigns in me
AmLike the storm rules over the sea
Am                       C          G       AmI challenge thee, do not cross this bridge alone

      AmDon't dare me now
G               D                 Am G FThe threatening shadows will pass by
                AmThey're getting closer now
G         DOpen your eyes
                AmWake up my dear young friend
    G          F   G AmAnd hate shall fade away

Am               C D C DI will not move, yet
Am                  G Am G AmI'll stand still, instead


[Pre-Chorus 1]
F            Ab             CThere on the battlefield he stands
            Am               FDown on the battlefield he's lost
           Ab             CAnd on the battlefield it ends


[Chorus 1]
C       Ab          CWar and anger shall reign
             FThe clash of iron can be heard
   C                Ab       GBy blindness you're driven insane
                        CI'm lost in anguish and grief
C            Ab            CSorrow won't wane 'til you die
            F           CA shattered body deeply hurt
    C             Ab        GAnd darkness will cover the light
             G                          CmIt's gone forevermore (it's gone forevermore)
